Maxell RAMS The Optical Media Market.Maxell Corporation of America announced that it expects to begin shipping evaluation samples of DVD-RAM A rewritable DVD disc endorsed by the DVD Forum. Using phase change technology, DVD-RAMs are like removable hard disks, and the media can be rewritten 100,000 times compared to 1,000 times for DVD-RW and DVD+RW. The first DVD-RAM drives with a capacity of 2.6GB (single sided) or 5. II media to a system OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and supplier. The shipments will be made in conjunction with drive samples from a manufacturer. In addition, the company expects pricing to be approximately $45 for its 4.7GB single-sided media and $70 for its 9.4GB double-sided new product.

In developing the DVDRAM DVDRAM Digital Versatile Disc - Random Access Memory discs, Maxell Corporation utilized optical thermal simulation to optimize the crystallization Crystallization The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase. Crystallization from solution is an important industrial operation because of the large number of materials marketed as crystalline particles. and diffusion speed of the phase-changed recording layer. The result is capacity that permits the recording of a two-hour digital movie. In addition, Mark Edge Recording was employed in the phase-change recording layer production to increase the pit density to 0.3 micrometers and the track density to 0.60 micrometers. Maxell also employed submicron-controlled mastering technology and disc substrate manufacturing to insure reliability. |
